WHAT IT DOES

What remove_user_from_group does on ServiceNow-MCP

AI agents call remove_user_from_group to permanently remove resources in ServiceNow-MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why remove_user_from_group is rated Critical

Removing a user from a group revokes their access and permissions associated with that group. While technically a modification (Write), removing access control membership can have significant security and operational consequences that may be difficult to fully reverse (especially if the removal is not logged or noticed).

From the tool's definition 'Remove a user from a group' — removing group membership is a potentially irreversible access control change; requires WRITE_ENABLED=true
